The hook used is as important as any other part of the equation. Gamakatsu Nautilus Ringed Circle Hooks are among the best due to their superior diameter to strength ratio. The ring allows the bait to swim easier and adds a pivot point when in the fishes mouth which reduces leverage which can pull the hook. These hooks are very sharp with a chemically sharpened point. The barb is big enough to keep fish hooked and the diameter small enough to hook them easily.

Can anything beat a standard circle hook for all-around performance? Frankly, yes! The Gamakatsu Kraken Outbarb Circle Hook does what circle hooks do, better. The outbarb offers more jaw penetration efficiency than the inward point, plus significantly more holding power because of the directional force applied during the fight. Also, the Kraken Outbarb is less likely to catch and wrap your line on the drop or cast.
